About: Hello! My name is Mary. I am a lifelong pet owner and animal enthusiast. I grew up on a horse farm with dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, and the odd rogue toad, so caring for animals with love and respect is literally second nature. I'm a somatic embodiment coach by trade, so I have a unique skill set for helping animals feel relaxed and comfortable in my care. I have joyously fostered 20+ dogs and cats in their transition to forever homes, and have extensive experience with house and pet sitting. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from 6 pound little weasels to 80 pound gentle giants. I have a special place in my heart for seniors (and have experience caring for them.) I am comfortable and experienced with administering medication. Because I work from home online and over zoom, I can accommodate animals that need a shorter window of alone time. I'd be delighted to treat your fur family with all the love and care I would give my own. I look forward to hearing from you! I have my own online business, so my schedule is very fluid and flexible. I love walking dogs and can easily do day or evening walks and stop-bys. I have experience with staying in many different homes and I know that every animal has its own unique routines, needs and rituals that help it feel in flow. I'm very happy to work with your pet in the way they are used to.
About: My pug mix Lulu will LOVE to go on walks with your dog in the Oakland hills. Lulu loves all friends and has made so many furry friends in the neighborhood in Piedmont Pines. We are very active together and go on lots of walks, hikes and I take Lulu to Joaquin Miller dog park and Fairy Land dog meet up. I'd love to take your dog along on our adventures and host your dog at my house, or go for a drop in visit with Lulu at your house. We'll have so much fun together, especially with Lulu wanting to play constantly! Your dog's comfort and safety is my priority, and I also give them so many hugs and snuggles. Since I have my 2 year old Pug mix Lulu, we have a great routine together that includes morning and afternoon walks and taking her to dog parks in the evening. She also has her best friends up the street on Ascot and we go play with them a bunch of times in the week. Lulu's happiness and joy is my priority, and we prioritize being outside for playtime and hikes as much as possible. I'll be sure to include this care for your pets as well because they deserve to have the most fun possible!! I currently work a couple part time jobs and my schedule is very flexible. Pet care is easy for me at the moment. I try my absolute best to keep everything as safe and as comfortable as possible at my home for the dogs!! They are my priority :) I always keep a good eye on them when they are in the backyard, and I never leave them fully alone when they are outside. They also get endless cuddles from me throughout the day, which I hope helps them feel comforted and safe with me :)
“Zsa-zsa is phenomenal and did a great job caring for my old dog while I was out of town. She is communicative and kind and clearly has a way with the four-legged among us. She'll be our go-to-gal from here on out!”
“Adam is a wonderful pet carer and our shy rescue pup immediately warmed up to him. He has a great, calming, positive energy and is completely trustworthy. As soon as I met him, I knew Chami would be in good hands. He's very punctual, always bang on time to walk our dog and responsive with messaging and photo updates. I would 100% recommend him!”
“Alejandra has been awesome! She is super trustworthy, sweet and my puppy loves her to bits. Thank you for taking such good care of my old boy. I am sure we will see you again soon!”
“Juliana was wonderful with our shy pup Chami! She took him on lovely walks in the woods and has great energy with dogs. She is highly punctual and reliable. Would highly recommend!”
About: My background spans a lifetime of animal husbandry, from raising horses, poultry, and rabbits on a hobby farm to specialized adult experience with iguanas and high-energy breeds. Most recently, I raised my Pitbull, Fang, from eight weeks old, giving me hands-on experience with puppy development, leash manners, and managing powerful, athletic dogs. I’ve also completed the American Red Cross online Pet First Aid course, adding emergency awareness and safety training to my practical experience. Whether it’s a backyard flock or a misunderstood breed, I provide confident, intuitive care built on decades of working with diverse species. Since my active hours are 8:00 PM to 1:00 PM, I am perfectly positioned for late-night check-ins, early-morning walks, and night-shift owners. My own routine includes three-hour morning adventures with my Pitbull, Fang, ensuring your pets receive high-energy exercise and dedicated attention while the rest of the world is still asleep. Safety and trust are paramount, especially when handling powerful breeds like my Pitbull, Fang. In my home or yours, I maintain a secure, hazard-free environment with a focus on clear boundaries and consistent routines. My "nocturnal" schedule ensures I am alert for late-night needs or early morning exercise when the neighborhood is quietest and safest for walks. Whether it’s managing high-energy dogs, specialized reptile habitats, or backyard flocks, I prioritize double-checking gates, monitoring health cues, and providing constant communication so you have total peace of mind while you are away.
“Whitney is extremely patient & professional. My dog is not an easy going pup he’s a bit of a grumpy old fuss pot. She communicates & asks for advice, I cannot stress enough how patient Whitney is. I felt she really tired to understand him & work with us. She is a great walker who goes above & beyond!!”
“Shanley was wonderful with our 8 month old bernadoodle! This was our first experience with Rover with our first dog ever. She had great communication throughout the experience, was super responsive and reliable, and even shared pictures and updates from her walks. We're lucky to have Shanley nearby to help us care for our puppy when work or trips come up. Thank you!”
“Jennifer was lovely, attentive, and a great communicator. We just adopted our dog and he has little bursts of aggression and Jennifer was kind enough to come by before their first walk to test the waters. Everything turned out great and Jennifer sent updates and pictures throughout his walks. We will definitely work with her again.”
About: I am a genuine animal lover - especially dogs - and I will care for your pets as if they were my own precious beings. I am very responsible and will be a reliable source of company and support for your pet while you're unavailable. I have been around dogs and cats throughout my childhood and adulthood and I truly enjoy spending time with them - exercising, playing, affection, tummy rubs - these are some of the many ways to keep your pet engaged and happy. I also understand the important need for BOTH unconditional love and boundaries - I can use basic behavioral techniques to help train your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your sweet pet and to being a helpful presence in both of your lives. When I'm home and open for pet-sitting, I don't have any other commitments, other than to take care of your pet. I'll rarely leave them for more than a couple of hours at a time. I don't care for pets in my own home - I only do pet sitting (and house sitting) in someone else's home space - which I think is great for the pet!
About: I recently quit my desk job to go on ventures of the heart — one of which is animals! I grew up with dogs of all kinds and adopted my first cat when I was 19! Our family has grown to three cats, one of which was a feral I rescued :) I am loyal and dependable and would love to spend time with your fur babies :) I am new to the Oakland area as I relocated here for my husbands job. My daily activities are going to the alameda dog park, walking thru Montclair, and exploring various hiking trails through Oakland! I am open to discussing the various needs surrounding your pet, and have experience dispensing medications if needed. I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be stressful at times, and I strive to provide the best care and updates possible to ensure your time away from your animal is worry and stress free!
Piedmont Pines dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sandy has been absolutely amazing! My dog LOVES her and her adorable dog, they have become such good friends. She sends me lots of photos after every walk, and is very communicative and reliable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog walker! I truly couldn't ask for a better dog walker.
Ananda was wonderful with our pups. We have a very shy skittish girl who warmed up to Ananda immediately. Our wild boy also adored her and couldn't wait to see her arrive for walks. Quiet and calm,Ananda was timely, communicated about the pups walks and great with our dogs. I highly recommend her.
Yonte took incredibly good care of my dog over an extended period of time and I am very grateful for her support. My dog has some behavioral reactivity and Yonte was willing to put in the time to get to know how best to care for her. She then took care of my dog for several months, going above and beyond to meet her needs for exercise and love. I would trust Yonte with all pet sitting, from short walks to extended stays. She definitely has an intuitive sense with pets and is very loving with them. She is also incredibly kind and easy to work with. I cannot recommend Yonte highly enough for the extraordinary care and love she puts into pet sitting! Thank you, Yonte!
My pup had a medical emergency during their time together and Elizabeth handled it calmly, responsibly, and had my pups best interest and safety in mind the whole time. She quickly communicated and updated us on the situation and patiently waited until we were able to arrive. We are super thankful for her, her quick thinking, and compassion. 💕
I highly recommend Francesca, she is a great communicator and my dog was OBSESSED with her. She was able to take care of my dog on super short notice and Throughout the walk and visit, I received thoughtful updates, adorable photos, and details that showed how much care and attention Francesca gave.
“My pup has officially found their new best friend! 🐾 Our dog walker goes above and beyond—whether it’s extra belly rubs, little updates with photos, or making sure my fur baby comes home happy and tired. I think my dog might like walks with them more than me (but I’ll try not to be jealous 😅). Couldn’t ask for a more caring, reliable, and tail-wag–approved walker
